Chanel launched the new programme to strengthen its connection to cinema by partnering up with acclaimed Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda.
The director hosted series of talks on November 28 at the Okuma auditorium at Waseda University aimed at aspiring filmmakers.
The workshop showed young filmmakers the ins and outs of the entertainment industry and gave them an opportunity to participate in a short film competition.
Speaking of the project, Hirokazu said: ‘I was looking for a collaborative partner to nurture the young talents in the film industry for the next ten or twenty years. We are working collaboratively with CHANEL on a programme to offer a space for new encounters. This project will be very exciting.’
Chanel will sponsor the three selected films and will showcase them in Tokyo and Paris.
It comes after Tilda teased retirement as she promoted her latest film The Room Next Door.

‘Let’s see if anything else happens,’ she said.

‘I’m really grateful, because I don’t know that if I hadn’t continued to find these families, if I would be interested in working,’ she told the publication.
‘I don’t think of myself as an industrial animal at all, you know, the way in which industry tends to divide people up and tends to concentrate on individual skills. My skill, if I have anything, is finding collaborators.’
